Of Lemurs and Men: Human-Induced Change and

the Fuzzies of
Madagascar

This site is dedicated to one
of the
most endangered and extraordinary
animals on
Earth: the lemurs of
Madagascar. Nowhere on Earth can
you see these primate predecessors in the wild but in
Madagascar, and nowhere are these animals so well
adapted to live. But, lemurs are no
match for humans with agriculture and industry. From the
current threat of intense deforestation and
the future uncertainty of climate change, lemurs have been
pushed
to the brink of extinction.
